“Talking”

‘Thoughts’

In the early morning rays, Chance was quietly getting dressed so as not to wake Ursula from her peaceful slumber. Last night was quite a shock but very enjoyable one except for not being able to continuing their activities as much as he would have liked. But he knew the pregnancy was taking a lot of Ursula, so he wanted her to rest as much as possible.

Once done dressing, Chance reached over to pull the bedding back over her but stopped as his eyes rested on her abdomen. It was beginning swell outward, a clear sign his mate was indeed expecting a kitten. Suddenly an old fear, he thought he managed to bury weeks ago, rose up and nearly choked him. A chill swept over him freezing him to the bone as sweat broke out across his forehead and terror gripped his heart.

Chance tried to push the fear away but was failing miserably at it. The fear grew stronger causing him to grit his teeth and take deep breaths to try and calm his nerves. As he stared at her swelling stomach, he understood why he was suddenly so consumed with fear once more. Ursula was as far along as Sarah had been when she had the accident that cost her their kitten.

‘This is ridiculous! I shouldn’t be afraid, they aren’t the same Kat.’ He tried to convince himself but his traitorous memory wouldn’t stop the scene he well remembered. The sight of Sarah on that hospital bed, pale and exhausted, as the doctor told him how they had tried everything they could to save the kitten but it was to late. That call and images changed to Ursula with their kitten.

Chance shook his head hard to dislodge the sorrowful image and frightened thoughts from his mind. Ursula wasn’t doing anything now that would endanger their kitten. She had, temporarily, halted being Valkyrie since her burgeoning pregnancy prevented her from wearing her suit right now.

But despite that, still he worried and fretted. With the threat of the Dark SWATs about, he couldn’t allow his guard to be down at anytime and the thought of them harming her made him sick. Again, he shook himself mentally.

‘Stop it!’ He hissed at himself. Jake and he were doing everything in their power to keep her safe. She was doing the same by staying close to the garage with James watching over her. She wasn’t Sarah and he needed to stop obsessing about this.

In his turmoil, he didn’t notice Ursula had awakened and was watching him. She quietly reached up and caressed his face tenderly. He startled and looked down at her. He hadn’t realized that he’d sat down near her as he stewed.

Chance blinked then smiled, “Did I wake you?”

“No…is everything alright? You look scared.” Ursula asked, sitting up.

“No not scared. I was just thinking about some…stuff. Go back to sleep, I’m going to go check on Jake.” Chance said attempting to cover her up again. But she pushed at his paws and got out of bed. She quickly found the shirt from last night and pulled it on.

“Kitten, what are you doing?” Chance asked in concern.

“I promised Jake I would bring him some dinner last night and I completely forgot about it when I was with you.” She said as she put on a new pair of underwear.

“Wow, for you to forget a promise it must have been really important.” He said in surprise.

“It was. After all, my mate wasn’t getting any proper rest last night. So I decided to do something about that.” She smirked impishly at him.

Then she laughed at the look on Chance’s face as he realized he was the reason Jake had been left without dinner. His face burned with embarrassment. It quickly changed to one of relaxed amusement. It was good to hear her laugh even if it was at his own expense.

“Sorry, love. I didn’t mean to laugh at you. It was just that look you had on your face. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.” Ursula said still giggling a bit.

“Yeah, ha ha funny.” Chance said but was smiling himself.

Still snickering, Ursula headed for the kitchen. She began to make breakfast while Chance headed for the hangar to inform Jake that breakfast was on the way. He studied the nice day as he went down the stairs and went into the garage then to the elevator. He stepped out of it and spotted Jake right way. He was at the work bench, as usual, and deeply focused on the task before him that he didn’t even hear Chance walking up.

“Jake,” Chance said as he came up to his best friend’s side.

Jake jumped a little but relaxed when he saw it was only Chance. Putting his tools down and wiping his paws clean, Jake turned around in his seat so he could face his buddy.

“Good morning, Chance. Sleep well?” Jake said noticing that Chance look more rested, finally. ‘Whatever Ursula did it work..’ He thought in pleased relief.

“Sorry about last night, buddy. It was my fault that Ursula…” Chance began to apologize, his face beginning to flush a little, as Jake gently cut him off.

“It’s okay. I went out to eat and I wasn’t alone. Felina was at the tavern too.”

“Great. You two talk about anything?”

Jake shrugged, “Not much. Just about my relationship with Callie or lack there of.”

Chance frowned a little at that. When Jake and Callie began dating he really thought things would work between them but it seemed it was not meant to be.

“So what happened after that?” Chance asked, curious.

Jake face suddenly became very red, “Um…well…Felina and I just talked for a bit longer… then…well…she said she liked guys like me and…gave me a kiss on the nose.”

Chance’s eyes widened for a moment then he began to smirk slyly, “Sounds like she was coming on too you, bud. I can’t believe you didn’t jump on a chance like that! I would have if Ursula had done that.”

“Of course not! I’m still with Callie right now and doing something like that would be cheating! Plus, Felina could have just been giving me encouragement to see other she-kats besides Callie and the kiss was nothing more then that of a friend.” Jake said trying to convince Chance but it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself.

“Right, whatever you say, Jake. Come on, breakfast is ready.” Chance said not believing a word Jake was saying.

“Okay! Oh, before I forget, Hackle wants to see us.”

“Huh? About what?”

“I don’t know but Hackle only calls us when it important.” Jake said, shrugging his shoulders.

“Okay. We’ll head out after breakfast to see him but we can’t stay long. Ursula has another doctor’s appointment later today.” Chance said with reserved eagerness.

“Sure, I understand. It’s probably another robot he wants to give us.” Jake said amiably.

“I hope so. But if it’s like that other one huge one he had, I think I’ll pass on it.”

Jake laughed as he and Chance headed for the elevator. They chatted as they went through the garage to the stairs. As they stepped into the kitchen, Ursula was just serving up the plates of food to the table. Jake noticed Ursula had given him a bit more as an apology for forgetting her promise.

They thanked her and all sat down to eat the meal in companionable silence. Chance told her where he and Jake were going after breakfast then they helped clean up the kitchen before the two males returned to the hangar to switch to their SWAT Kats personas.

Razor had suggested they take the cyclotrons rather then the jet so as not to confuse the enforcers and reduce the chance of running into the Dark SWAT Kats if they were anywhere about. James triggered the hidden doors open and just as there was enough clearage, they speeded off a back road to Hackle’s place. As they neared his home, the security gates swung silently open allowing them to pass. As they reached the side of his laboratories, the huge overhead door swung open to allow them entry. They parked their bikes and removed their helmets. Hackle was waiting for them and smiled as they walked up to him.

“SWAT Kats, it’s good to see you two again.” Hackle said warmly.

“It nice to see you too, Professor.” Razor said giving Hackle a small smile as he remembered the plans Hackle had made for Valkyrie’s hangar.

“Razor said that you had something you wanted to show us?” T-Bone said hoping it was not another giant robot meant to help them.

“Yes, yes. Please follow me.” Hackle said then turned heading for another part of the lab.

Razor and T-Bone followed him as he stepped into a room that was in darkness except for a small light on a bench near the door. Hackle reached out and flicked a switch near the door. The two had to close their eyes for a moment when the bright light hit them.

When they reopened their eyes slowly to allow them to adjust to the much brighter light, the sight that greeted their restored sight was stunning. They stood and gaped for a moment then were tearing across the lab floor for the far end of the lab. Hackle was quite pleased by the way the two rushed over to the other end of the room like kittens in a candy store.

“Wow, Hackle the suits! These are almost like Ur…Valkyrie’s battle armor!” T-Bone blurted excitedly.

The two battle armors before them were very similar to Valkyrie’s only larger and heavier. They were also a different color. Theirs were painted in their distinctive SWAT Kats color, blue, red and the scanners were black.

“The armor is based on my Valkyrie’s. Yours are nearly the same except for not having the power puncher, saber sword, and needle gun.” Hackle said watching as Razor and T-Bone looked over the armor thoroughly.

“Just what can these babies do?” Razor asked becoming more and more excited.

“The armor can increase the wearer strength and speed to ten times a normal kats. I have kept these fairly stripped down of weaponry because I was sure you would wish to add your own.” Hackle said, pleased with their response.

“This is outstanding! Hackle this armor will definitely give us an edge over the Dark SWAT Kats. Now there’s less chance of us being taken out when we’re on the ground. Thanks again, Professor. You’ve really outdone yourself. I can see already what I need to do to modify them to handle our weapon’s needs especially our glovatrixs.” Razor said already designing what he needed to do to tailor the armor to their requirements.

“You are very welcome. Now let me brief you on how the armor works then you and T-Bone need to try them on to see how they fit and make any changes if needed.” Hackle said in warm excitement.

While Hackle and Razor were talking animatedly about their new armor. T-Bone had taken a couple of steps back to get a better view of his. Looking it over, T-Bone couldn’t help but be pleased that he would finally be able to do the same things he envied Valkyrie for.

When he and Razor had first met Valkyrie and been out done by her, he had to admit his pride had been hurt. They who had always upstaged the Enforcers were finding themselves being upstaged by Valkyrie.

He hadn’t like the feelings of uselessness and helplessness that had caused him when he was forced to watch Valkyrie save Felina not once but twice, save him from Turmoil, then save the whole city from that virus.

He realized with chagrin that the enforcers must have felt those same things when he and Razor upstaged them. He felt a bit ashamed at that since now he knew what it felt like.

He had to give his mate credit for trying her best to save the city with out-of-date tech when she had been the Chief Enforcer. He understood better how she must have felt when they constantly outshone her. Still she had always been willing to stick herself in the forefront unlike that coward, Steele. Her only thought was the protection of the city and he had always failed to understand that until now.

As he stared at his new armor he knew he and Razor would be able to protect the city much better now. ‘And I’ll be able to protect Ursula and the kitten.’ He thought with relief.

His eyes fell on the nerve suit. It was just like Ursula’s, black with two downward strips on the arms with penny size metal holes. When Ursula had first shown it to him, she had explained that the suit used her own nervous system to connect with the armor allowing her to move as if she was wearing a second skin.

Picking it up, he held the suit between his fingers feeling it. It was light weight and soft to the touch. He could tell it would fit skin tight.

“T-Bone, you ready?” Razor asked his voice breaking into T-Bone’s thoughts.

“What? Oh, yeah, I’m ready!” Let give these babies a test run!” T-Bone said happily.

Back home Ursula was in the garage working on paperwork until it was time for her appointment this afternoon. She briefly wonder what Professor Hackle had wanted with Chance and Jake. She hoped it was something that would help them defeat the Dark SWAT Kats. Chance would tell her when he got back.

Business at her shop had picked up significantly because of Jake and Chance’s shop being temporarily closed. So now she had twice the customers which meant twice the paperwork. That kept her busy until lunch time.

When she saw the time, she finished up what she was presently working on and put them in the out basket and locked up the unfinished work. She told James she was getting lunch and went upstairs to her home.

She made herself a quick sandwich with milk then cleaned up the kitchen. As she was finishing up the dishes, there was a knock at the door. Sighing, she placed the dishes in the sink and turned for the door. She open it to see Felina standing there holding a very large box.

“Felina, Hi! What’s with the box?” Ursula asked stepping out of the way.

“It’s my old kitten clothes and toys. I figure you two can use it if the kitten’s a little she-kat.” Felina said placing the box on top of the table.

“Thank you, Felina. I haven’t gone out yet to look for kitten clothing. The only thing Chance and I have done is set up the nursery.” Ursula said feeling a little bad she hadn’t taken the time to find clothes and toys.

“That’s alright. With those Dark SWAT Kats around and us having to be on alert for them, it’s understandable you would forget.” Felina said not wanting her aunt to get upset about it.

Ursula nodded, “You’re right. This has been some really crazy weeks. Felina, have you found out anything yet? Where they are or could be?” She asked as she closed the door.

Felina shook her head in displeasure, “No, we haven’t. I have my group checking the city every four hours at places they could likely be at but we’re turning up nothing. I’m guessing it’s the same story for you too, huh?” She asked.

“Unfortunately, yes it is. I had hoped that by now we would have had some kind of lead to where they are hiding. This constant waiting is making Chance very tense.” Ursula said unhappily.

“He and Jake aren’t pushing themselves too hard are they?” Felina asked stressing a bit on when she had said Jake’s name.

Ursula blinked as she looked at Felina then smiled, “Jake is pushing himself but not that hard. So you don’t have to worry about him much.”

Felina blushed a little when she realized her aunt had heard her concern in her voice. “ I do like him a lot, auntie. Jake is a very sweet tom.” She said shyly.

“Have you told him about your feelings?”

“No, well yes…sort of. I met him last night at a tavern and I sort of dropped a hint that I liked him but…” Felina paused, hesitatingly.

Ursula saw a sort of hurt look on his niece’s face, “But?” she said waiting for Felina to go on.

“I don’t think he likes me that way. When I dropped the hint he seemed shocked and stunned by what I’d suggested. He didn’t even respond to it.” Felina said sounding hurt by it all.

“Well, maybe he just needs time to think about it. After all, isn’t he still seeing, Callie?” Ursula asked gently.

“Well, yes. But, I guess kats like him always go for the pretty smart she-kats like Callie.” Felina pouted a little.

Ursula shook her head, “You’re just jumping the gun, Felina. Besides, you’re just as pretty and smart as Callie.” She told her firmly.

“Sorry, auntie. But I think you’re wrong. I’m just too much of a tom to get someone like Jake to notice someone like me.” Felina said with apparent finale.

“If that’s what you wish to believe, be my guest.” Ursula said tartly, knowing Felina was wrong about her impression of herself.

“Anyway, Auntie. I better get going.” Felina said turning to leave. Ursula checked the time on the kitchen clock and saw that it was close to her appointment.

“Felina wait!” Ursula said stopping her niece.

“Yes, what is it Auntie?” Felina asked stopping at the door and looking back at her aunt.

“Could you come with me to my doctor’s appointment? Chance normally goes with me but, obviously, he hasn’t returned from something he had to do today. Do you mind?” She asked.

“Sure, it’s no trouble.”

Ursula thanked Felina then headed off to master bedroom for a quick shower and putting on some fresh clothing and underwear. Soon they were in Felina’s car making their way toward the city. Ursula told Felina how to get to the doctor’s office reaching it in good time. Once at the third floor, Felina followed her aunt into the doctor’s office.

She took a seat while her aunt went up to the receptionist’s desk. As Felina sat there, she watched the others waiting their turn. Her aunt rejoined her and sat next to her. Felina’s eyes automatically dropped to her aunts stomach. Ursula was definitely showing now. Mentally she shook her head. If someone had told her a year ago that her uncle would be altered from male to female, then mate her ex-enforcer Chance Furlong and become pregnant with his kitten, she would have looked at them as if they had completely lost their minds.

“Your starting to show, Auntie!” Felina commented, reaching out to touch her aunt’s stomach.

“Yes, but I can only imagine what I’m going to look like by the end of all this.” Ursula said, not minding the touch.

“Chance must touch your stomach a lot.”

Felina was surprised by her aunt’s reaction to that statement. It was a look of desolation. She immediately moved her paw from her aunt’s belly to her shoulder to offer comfort.

“Did I say something wrong?” Felina asked in concern.

“No…just... Chance hasn’t touched me there since I began to show.” Ursula said, trying to pass it off as not that worrisome.

“Why not?”

“I think it might be because of what happened to Sarah.” Ursula said distantly.

“What does she have to do with this?” Felina asked crustily

“Before Chance joined the enforcers, he and Sarah had been sweethearts since high school.” She said quietly.

“So?”

“They were expecting a kitten as well but…” Ursula started to say but was interrupted when a nurse called her name. “I’ll tell you some other time.” She said getting up and following the nurse.

Giving her aunt an understanding nod, Felina watched her leave as inside her head questions about what could have happened ran around her brain.

While Felina waited, Ursula was being weighed, having her blood pressure read then taken back to a room. The doctor came in and asked her how the pregnancy was going, gave her quick look over then had her lay down on the table. The lights were turned out by a nurse as the doctor prepared the ultrasound machine.

“If you’ll pull up your shirt and push down your pants a bit, I’ll put some gel on.” Dr. Gibson asked warmly. Ursula did so, then relaxed as Dr. Gibson squeezed some of the cold gel on her protruding belly. The doctor fiddled with the dials and buttons for a moment before grabbing the wand and placing it on the gel. She moved it slowly around. On the screen that Dr. Gibson had turned in such a way, Ursula could see the images, a fuzzy image could be seen. The doctor moved the wand a little until she could actually see more clearly a head then arms, legs and a tail tucked up against the incredibly tiny body.

“We’re in luck today, a nice clear image. See here?” The doctor pointed at a throbbing something on the screen, “That’s the kitten’s heart. Everything looks good so far. There’s its little feet and paws.” She commented, pointing each one out.

“Can you tell me what sex it is?” Ursula asked still watching the screen.

“I can certainly try, but it’s up to the little one if he or she wants you to know.” Dr. Gibson said in amusement as she moved the wand around for a few minutes.

As she watched for the genitals to come around, Dr. Gibson saw something else on the screen. She frowned and concentrated the wand on that area trying to get a clearer look but whatever it was wouldn’t come into focus. A cold feeling came over her, ‘This can’t be.’ She thought with a feeling of dread.

“Dr. Gibson?” Ursula called out hesitantly, as she saw a look of worry flit across her doctor’s face.

“Hmm...Yes?” Dr. Gibson asked a bit distractedly.

“Is something wrong?” Ursula asked anxiously.

“Oh no, it’s okay...just the old eyes playing tricks on me. Now about your kitten! Let’s see…ah! It a she-kitten!” Dr. Gibson said giving Ursula a smile but making a note to run a few more tests on Ursula.

“Really? Then I’ve got the perfect name for her! Thank you, Dr. Gibbons. Is that all?” Ursula asked happy about the news and knew Chance would be too.

“No. But I do want to run a few more tests. If that’s okay with you?” Dr. Gibson asked offhandedly, not wanting her patient to worry yet.

“I’m not to fond of tests but if you feel it’s necessary, go head.” Ursula said thinking this had to do with the look of concern she’d seen earlier.

Outside Felina sat reading a magazine to pass the time. She was thankful that her enforcer training had taught her patience. Still, she was glad when her aunt came out of the door that opened. Sighing in relief, she tossed the magazine down and got up to meet her aunt.

“How’d it go?” Felina asked as they made for the door to leave.

“Okay, she did run a few tests but nothing serious.” Ursula said ’At least I hope not’ She thought privately.

“That’s good news. Do you need to stop anywhere before I take you home?” Felina asked pleased with the news.

“No...oh! Those clothes and toys of yours will be coming in handy, Felina! I’m having a she-kitten.” Ursula said cheerfully.

“Really?! That’s great, auntie! What’s her name going to be?” Felina asked happy about the news as they stepped out of the doctor’s office into the hall.

“Winry” Ursula said smiling happily.

“That’s a beautiful name. By the way what were you saying about Chance and Sarah?” Felina asked remembering what her aunt said earlier.

Ursula opened her mouth to answer when a loud boom was heard followed by the shaking of the building.

An hour earlier, Dark Razor and Dark T-Bone were loading up their jet with missiles Dark Razor had created from the supplies Dark Kat had given them. In exchange, Dark Kat required them to attack a medical building to attract the enforcers and the good SWAT Kats while he would go for his real target.

Once they were loaded, Dark T-Bone carefully took their jet out of its hiding place and headed for their target. He landed the jet on the building, shot the canopy back, then they jumped to the roof’s surface. With glovatrixs at the ready, they went to the roof entrance. Opening the door, Dark Razor found the stairway empty.

He signaled Dark T-Bone that it was safe and began to go down the stairs with his surly partner following close behind. Passing doors that led out to hallways, Dark T-Bone opened the first one they reached and opened it cautiously, seeing no one he slipped into the hall. Dark Razor continued on down the stairwell heading for the basement.

Dark T-Bone walked past occupied offices until he reached one that was closed for the day. Using his glovatrixs, he unlocked the door and slipped inside. Closing the door behind him, Dark T-Bone took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. He took a seat in a waiting area, removing his helmet and mask and letting his fingers run though his fur.

He just sat there not moving ‘What am I doing?’ He thought bitterly. He had been against the idea from the beginning, yet here he was doing what Dark Kat wanted without questioning why, just like back home. He didn’t understand this, why was he feeling so ashamed and guilt-ridden about the whole thing? So deep in his thoughts was he, he hadn’t noticed how much time had passed until he heard the boom and felt the building shake. He realized his partner had already put the plan in play.

‘Damn it!’ He growled as he got up quickly, put his mask and helmet back on and went to the door. He opened it and looked out. He was startled when he saw a familiar figure run by him. It took him a second to realize who it was, this world’s Felina Feral. She was heading for where the bomb had gone off. He was about to leap out and run after her when a voice down the hall cried out to Felina to stop.

He whipped his head around and saw his counter parts mate trying to catch up to Felina. He stepped out of the office causing her to stop in shock and fear at the sight of him.

Ursula stood there unsure what to do when Dark T-Bone had stepped out from an office and stood between her and the rapidly disappearing Felina. Without her armor and being pregnant there was no way she could defend herself if he should decide to come after her.

The frozen moment passed when Dark T-Bone decided to grab her. He hadn’t consciously thought about it, just allowed his body to move. Reaching her quickly before she could react, he grabbed her by the arm and began to pull her away from the direction Felina had gone. Ursula was confused. Where was he taking her? She tried to pull away from him.

Dark T-Bone tightened his grip when he felt her struggle against him trying to get free. When she planted her feet and refused to move, he stopped and picked her up. For reasons he couldn’t explain to himself, he had a strong need to get her to safety. Part of his mind didn’t want his counterpart to suffer the pain he had experienced when he lost Sarah and their kitten.

“Let go of me!” Ursula hissed out hitting the dark tiger tom on the chest hard.

“Stop struggling!” Dark T-Bone hissed, running back to the stairwell.

“No! Put me down!” She demanded. This time Ursula was able to hit him in the face hard.

Dark T-Bone woofed in pain and stopped. He set her on her feet and when she tried to make a run for it, he grabbed her wrists with one paw and pinned her against a wall with his body. He stared down at her angrily.

“Listen! I’m not going to hurt you! Don’t even ask me why!” Dark T-Bone hissed at her tightly.

“If that’s so then let me go! I have to stop Felina! She could get hurt!” Ursula said trying to break out of Dark T-Bone hold on her.

“No! I’m getting you out here!”

“And what makes you think I’ll go with you willingly?” She demanded furiously.

“The kitten.” Dark T-Bone said sharply, letting one of his paws drift down to caress her swollen belly. He realized at that moment that she was in the same term as when Sarah and the kitten were lost.

“No!” Ursula screamed thinking that Dark T-Bone was about to do something that would hurt Chance and her kitten.

She managed to free her right wrist and prepared to slam her fist into his face as hard as she could, that is, until he gently touched her belly. She struck him but not with the force she had intended. Though she did hit him, his paw remained over her belly. She blinked in surprised shock. He shook off her blow and moved her fist from his face. She stared at him in confusion.

“I told you! I’m not going to hurt you.” Dark T-Bone said, still caressing her stomach.

“Then why are you doing this? I thought you hated my mate?” Ursula asked, still confused by Dark T-Bone’s actions.

“What’s your name?”

“What?”

“Your name, what is it?” Dark T-Bone asked again ignoring her other question.

“It’s Ursula.” She answered. She was surprised when he suddenly let her go. She stood there in puzzled.

“Get away from my mate!” Came a growl of fury. Dark T-Bone looked up in time to see a blur of blue, red, and black hit him with enough force to send him flying down the hall.

“Kitten, you alright? He didn’t hurt you did he? I’ll kill him!” T-Bone said turning ready to beat Dark T-Bone into a bloody pulp once he had finished checking his mate for any sign of injury. Satisfied she was alright, he headed down the hall for his enemy.

“Ch…T-Bone!?” Ursula said shocked to see her mate in battle armor similar to her own. ‘Where did he get that?!’ She wondered. The next moment she realized her mate had left her and was closing in on Dark T-Bone laying further down the hall on his back.

Dark T-Bone groaned as he struggled to get up, his vision spinning from the blow. He fell back down unable to get up yet. By the time his vision finally cleared, he saw the large armored male approaching him rapidly.

‘Another armored Kat?” He thought in surprise, as he quickly got to his feet and aimed his glovatrixs. He was about ready to fire when to his horror, Ursula ran between them.

“T-Bone stop!” Ursula shouted trying to stop her mate from doing something she knew he would later regret.

“What?! Why?!” T-Bone asked stopping wondering why his mate was asking him to do this.

“Because…!” Ursula said but was cut off as another bomb shook the building.

T-Bone wrapped his arms around Ursula’s body, pulling her close to him as the building shook then stopped. ‘I need to get her out of here!’ He thought urgently. Picking his mate up into his arms he prepared to leave.

“I’ll deal with you later!” T-Bone shouted angrily at Dark T-Bone then ran off with Ursula holding onto him tightly.

Dark T-Bone could only watch as the two disappeared around another corner away from the stairwell. Knowing he needed to get out of here, Dark T-Bone hurried to the stairwell and made his way to the roof quickly.

As he ran, his mind replayed the scene of his counterpart carrying his mate away to safety. He felt disgusted with himself for his actions. He felt as if some invisible force was pushing him down. ‘Why? Why him? What did I do to deserve this kind of life?’ He thought furiously as he burst through the door to the roof.

He stopped, his mind distracting him as it went over everything in his life... every decision he made that might have affected his life this way. The only conclusion he could come to was everything that had happened to him had been his fault. It was his decisions that brought him to this point. ‘Things really could have been different if Razor and I didn’t hold such a hard grudges against Feral.’ He thought now looking at the sky. He could hear the sirens of the enforcers becoming louder and louder warning him it was time to leave.

Suddenly the door behind him opened, and Dark Razor burst out and ran for the jet. He stopped suddenly when he noticed that Dark T-Bone wasn’t in the jet yet. Looking behind him, Dark Razor saw Dark T-Bone standing there with a strange look on his face.

“Wipe that stupid look off your face! Let’s just get in the jet and go!” Dark Razor yelled annoyed with his partner.

“R…right.” Dark T-Bone said heedless of Dark Razor’s anger. He followed without much thought after his partner. Bringing his mind back to the business at hand, he quickly started the jet and took off, racing toward their hideaway before the enforcers could track them.

On the trip back to their hiding place, Dark Razor frowned in concern. His partner wasn’t acting right. His mind wasn’t on the mission and he realized, he hadn’t participated in any of it.

“What’s bugging you now?” Dark Razor asked over their com, wondering why he cared.

“It’s…nothing.” Was all Dark T-Bone was willing to say, keeping his silence on the rest of the trip.

Behind Dark T-Bone, Dark Razor narrowed his eyes. Whatever it was that was bothering Dark T-Bone he was going to find out about it and put a stop to it.
